Geology Major

Shawnee State has an outstanding degree in geology, designed for students seeking
careers in earth science, environmental science, or entry into graduate programs in
geology or environmental science.

Shawnee State designed its geology program with a core curriculum (closely modeled
after the American Institute of Professional Geologists recommendations) which is
enhanced through elective courses, field experiences, and research opportunities.
This balance maintains a unique, field-oriented curriculum of which few programs of
similar size can boast.

At Shawnee State, faculty get to know our geology majors as individuals, and are able
to mentor them—be it with regard to coursework, research opportunities, or career
guidance—throughout their college careers.
